The debate over whether NFL players should be aloud to use the N-Word is one of the greatest debates our nation has ever faced sense trying to guage whether Joe Flacco is Elite, or trying to figure out by how many votes did George Bush win Florida. Is it ok for a Black player to say it to a White player? For a White player to say it to a White player? For two Black players to say it when talking about a White players whose a honorary Black?

The rules are complicated- according to ESPNs Bomani Jones, White people are aloud to say it ONLY if there in Blackface and can take a punch. To be honest with you Ive have a hard time thinking about the different levels of reverse racism involved in each of these scenarois. But eloquent well spoke clean Stanford graduate Richard Sherman has one-upped me in todays MMBM:

That is a STRONG TAKE by Sherman. According to him, now its racist for people to NOT use the Nword what a game changer. Thats like double reverse racism with a doublestandard PC Police officer twist. Where does Sherman get off claiming HIS rights are being violated saying its its racist to not let Black players use a word that White players arent aloud to use because White people use to use the word in a racist way like 500 years ago? Funny how a guy who knows so much about inside coverage has aparently never opened a history book.

Isnt it really racist against White players whove been waiting pateitnly for hundreds of years to be aloud to use the NWord in a non-racist way? Wheres our history month? What are we suppose to tell every young White child who was born after racism died when we elected Obama who has been oppressed by this rule?

This rule is to confusing too enforce in my opinoin. I have so many questions that need to be answered before they can even think about passing legaslation:

What if your just quoting a rap song or a Paula Dean recipe?

What if you say “no offense” right after?

What if instead of “a” or “er” at the end I invented a cool new respectful conjagation of the NWord that ends in “o”? Can I say that word to whoever I want and not face consequences?

Funny how the leagues banning on-field slurs but its still ok to use hurtful words that are actual team names like when people use the word “Patriot” to disrespect conservative White males just because some of us happen to think “enoughs enough.” Wake up get mad before its to late.

But what if your seattle TE Zach Miller and yo’ur celebrating the super bowl win and the hole team is clustered around Marshawns locker rapping along to Notorious Thugs and right away its getting to the; “…thug ass n-” part but you look around the room and Russell Wilson gives you the head nod like “its cool bro you can rap it” but that only counts as a half-pass and then Kam Chancellor gives you a glare like “NO, that is are word!”,,,but Golden Tate always lets you rap the N’s when your dippin in his Low Low,,Its like you have to now fractions to figure out when you can say it SMH

Great breakdown of one of the most important issues of our times, and also Obama’s.

This will once and for all make white people, even Italians who look black, feel as much liberal guilot for being white as an entire basketball team made up of Bill bradley’s.

It;s about time we make our white selves as superior to these guys, who while highly educated at places like Stanford and other places, need to acceept the values of white society, like Obama does so well.

And that’s why we love him folks. He is one of us, in a halfsy way though.

What about this scenario: Home team is driving and TV timeout. Stadium PA starts cranking “Holy Grail” by Jay Z (black, no offense) and Justin Timberlake (white) and it’s the original version which uses the “n” word but not the “er” but the “a”.

The refs definitely hear the word, which was played by the home team’s announcer. Is it a 10 yard penalty? 15 yard even though no “er” used? Is it a technical foul on the home bench? Or does the fact that Justin Timberlake is involved result in no penalty?

The only thing I dislike more than the “n-word” reference is the word itself. Like everyone I have my own feelings and opinions concerning race (unlike most people I don’t preach them), but for some reason that word to me has such evil connotations that I could never bring myself to use it regardless of the situation. I agree with Bill Cosby’s opinion concerning the popularity of the word among his own culture, even with the massaging of a syllable or two to justify its use. He essentially is disgusted by it and feels that it celebrates one of the vilest examples of early America. My own grandfather, who believe me would not have been happy if my mom dated any person of color in her teen years, did not allow the word spoken in his house. Most any other cursing was fair game, just not that.
Like most of the unsavory events in the history of America, it should be acknowledged and remembered, but not celebrated (I’M LOOKING AT YOU PAULA DEEN!)

Indeed. I’m with Cosby on this one. I rarely use the word, regardless of which version, because I feel like the common use of the word causes a net harm in society in general and in the black community in particular.

Just the other day I read an article criticising “True Detective” for its portrayal of its female characters, political correctness has indeed “gone mad”, too many pussies with no perspective, dictating on what is and isn’t acceptable. Its utterly ridiculous to make a distinction between the word nigga and nigger, its a bastardisation of the English language and proper pronunciation, almost as bad as substituting the risible “n-word” in its place.

First they came for the word nigger, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a nigger.

Then they came for the word faggot, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a faggot.

Then they came for the word pussy, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a pussy.

Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me because I was white.

SMH, its a holocaust on the white language folks, thanks Obama. When your kid, is “axing fo some purple” whilst living on welfare, dont forget where this started, by banning proper use of the English language in favour of ebonics.
